Poor Myla. I think Team Cherry erred in not including any way of canonically saving her for certain, because she's possibly the sweetest little bug in the entire game. 'course, you can technically save her just by not killing her even after she's corrupted until you get the 'Dream No More' ending and slay the Radiance, freeing all the bugs corrupted by its influence, but you never get to see this, and she's only saved by implication.

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

I think it was intentional. To show the fate of hollownest to the players on a person level. Giving the players the same feel of helplessness most of the kingdoms inhabitants must have felt watching their loved ones pass away. It's unfortunate sure, but I think it was intentional

Correction about saving Myla, it can't actually be done. The song she is singing is the Radiance's song of victory, and she is already under the Radiance's influence when you first meet her, though not enough for her to be hostile to you EDIT: So you technically can save her if you get Dream no More or Godmaster endings, as Team Cherry apparently stated that the bugs with minor infections do not die after the infection is destroyed.

[@TukGhost]

I didn't know that. Thanks :]

[@ethanhonaker5558]

So you can't save her? 😢

[@brawlman644]

@@ethanhonaker5558 It depends on what the fate of the infected bugs after the Radiance is defeated for good is, something that can currently only be speculated on. If the bugs with minor infections return to normal (Its too late for any bugs with severe infection), then all you have to do to save her is just not kill her and she would probably be fine, but if all the infected bugs become lifeless corpses afterwards, then no.

I do kind of like cloths end from a narrative perspective. It’s bittersweet and hits you in the feels. But at the same time. All future play through of mine will end with her alive because I can’t take it again

[@AfromanRants]

See with Cloth it’s hard. She desperately wants to become a warrior, and to die a warriors death having bested a truly strong foe. If you speak to cloth after the mantis fight, as a ghost, she even mentions how happy she is that she gets to see her partner again. In my eyes, letting Cloth live is kinda a worse fate for her, since she doesn’t get to live to be a warrior and will likely die of the infection when it progresses, becoming a husk of the radiance, and having never accomplished her goal. Endlessly waiting for a fight that is not to come, yearning for the solace of her partner. Letting her live is actually kinda cruel, thinking about it now.

As bitter as Cloth's death is, it truly is the best ending for her, as leaving her alive after Traitor Lord denies her the solace she seeks after the death of her former partner, endlessly waiting for a worthy fight.

[@maxhay9098]

"Just hit him a lot and don't get hit." I swear this isn't demeaning advice, it's actually the best way to run Traitor Lord. The fight is absolute agony if you try to space yourself away from him for any of his attacks besides the shockwave. However, if you shove yourself right up against him and spam your attack while walking into him, the fight suddenly becomes a trivial effort where one of three things happens: he crouches so you shade dash through him as he lunges forward, he jumps so you just casually walk under him, or he starts preparing the shockwave, which is the hardest to recognize and can be dealt with in a couple different ways, safest being to walk away from him until he releases it, then shade dodge through it to get back into position. The whole fight lasts less than 20 seconds if you can keep the heat on him. Also remember even just upgrading your nail once can shave a dozen hits or more off a boss, so if you've been putting off that trip to the smith, maybe plan a detour.

[@jalepinojoe6285]

A few things about the myla route: broken vessel shade skip can be done without longnail/MoP, and a nail upgrade can be used instead of an extra mask, itll be quicker to get. Glowing womb can be used as well, but that takes longer to get as well. Also the recently discovered stallball tech can be used in place of the shade skip. Unless you're doing some REALLY difficult skips, you do have to kill dung defender to get ismas. The spike tunnel in the broken elevator shaft also does not require dash master or shade cloak. Dash master makes it easier but I dont know why shade cloak was mentioned. With dash master its dash > pogo > dash, without its dash > fireball > pogo > dash. Hope everyone saves myla at least once in their hollow knight journeys!

This just comes to show how much of "OUT OF THE WAY" we (players) go, for good characters XD

[@TRak598]

I did some testing in an attempt to have neither The Dreamers + THK nor Myla killed... And it's possible, but you have to compromise on getting her infected by defeating Soul Master, as you need to kill him for Pantheon unlocking and Desolate Dive/Descending Dark are required to go to Junkpit on the first place. So yeah, you got to commit boss genocide for the sake of Embrancing the Void, and in order to obtain Voidheart you'll also need to complete White Palace... Without Crystal Heart (as it fully infects Myla, which may as well be permanent). Passing the last buzzsaw squeeze is such a hard ordeal that I had no choice but to slow the game's internal clock (using Cheat Engine). Otherwise still doable, but good luck doing it. You also need to use the float glitch in order to pass the thorn hallway (more of a cerimonial "red carpet walk" if you have Crystal Heart) just before the throne, and do do that you need to access the Pale King's Workshop; That way you can use the Workshops's (rather non-Euclidian layout-oriented) left side exit to perform the Glitch (you need room transitions to do so). Oh, did I mention that you also have to skip Dung Defender post-fight room usage in order to get Isma's Tear (as it requires Crystal Heart to speed through the thorn squeeze)? And Isma's Tear itself is absolutely necessary as it is the only way to get the Love Key and thus fight and defeat The Collector. This skip requires Monarch's Wing and is easier before you collect Shadow Cloak. Thing is, the Shadow Cloak itself makes the Monarch Wings Crystal Dash skip easier (you can then get Sharp Shadow to extend your Dash distance), plus you need to fight Hornet Sentinel anyways and skipping Monarch Wing usage for reaching her it easy enough, so you may be tempted to get Shadow Cloak before Isma's Tear. Don't do it. I had to slow down the game time because skipping Isma's Tear Crystal Heart usage after collecting Shadow Cloak is excruciatingly hard.

Aw. I'm glad to know that you can save Mayla. Sad that it's so difficult tho. :\

[@friedrice7]

Didn't know you could say Myla, that's awesome

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

I just reached Cloth's death last night, and it almost made me cry :(

[@eggface8260]

I got an add as he said ‘you got to die here’ and then as soon as the spike hit him the add came

[@StainlessHelena]

I didn't know Myla could be saved! If only there was a way to save the dreamers. I wanna give Hornet her mother back. I wanna have Monomon restore Quirrel's memories. Lurien, hm, might be someone Lemm could get along with.

[@bharatmatakayoda]

No she can't be saved This is just a dumb way to delay her infection state as long as you don't get desoate dive and crystal heart

[@el.chill.4]

embrace the void ending kills the radiance so she's good

[@firenate6883]

You dont need shade cloak to get into queens gardens

[@lecrow7178]

Really helpful video ! I've found all i wanted to know 👍

[@TukGhost]

You are welcome!

[@Chipiiiii]

I beat Traitor Lord earlier today and ngl nearly cried when she died

[@asbest2092]

what if you let mylo to be infected, just simply don't kill her, defeat the final boss and return to her. Wouldn't she be alright? You have destroyed the source of the madness she must become ok

[@Kamiyan4713]

That's not possible because you won't be able to return after you beat the game, it will just take you to where you last saved and the infection will stay, but technically after getting the true ending , which is defeating the radiance , all the bugs would be free from the infection but you won't be able to come back and confirm

[@Animaniafreak]

This video is so well made, I actually restarted Hollow knight again just to see I could get a different ending to save Myla

[@deltacosmic5358]

I djdnt know you could bring cloth to the fight but thats cool even if she dies

[@duncangriffiths4399]

“You need the shade cloak to access the Queen’s gardens” What have I done!? I’ve broken the space time continuum!

[@timdrugge907]

The methods to save Myla has some interesting implications lore-wise; namely that Soul Master and the Crystal Heart are hindering the spread of Radiance. By being clever enough to utilize one's own death shade and exceptionally skilled with quick reflexes, The Knight can ensure these barriers remain in place, preventing not just Myla, but likely other bugs from being infected by Radiance. Meaning more lives saved overall in addition to Myla and her beautiful singing voice. Also, the fact that we can't really "save" Zote, just open others eyes to his bs or let the braggard die, is very funny and appropriate since you can't "save" people from their own stupidity, just point it out to others or let them suffer the consequences.

[@azzkin9401]

I don't think defeating Soul Master and obtaining the Crystal Heart somehow causes the radiance's influence to spread faster, rather is an implication that in the time the Knight was doing those things, her prison weakened, similar to how obtaining the monarch wings will cause the Forgotten Crossroads to become hyper-infected even if none of the dreamers have been killed.

[@booled1]

I swear Myla is the purest and most adorable little bug in the world. The scream that she makes when you kill her is SOUL CRUSHING. SHE WAS SO INNOCENT.

[@LilPete1]

0:20 you said his

[@senseifarm]

Cloth was like: Should've gone for the head

[@eduardpaduraru3090]

What if Mila never got infected in the first place? Instead she just got suspicious on the knight because he wanted to to steal all of her crystals after she finishes mining them, so myla put some contact lenses to look like the infected miners in order to scare off the knight, which sadly lead to her demise, this confirms that our little knight is in fact, not as kind hearted as team cherry wanted us to think it is.

[@mrsmithers69]

How does that make him not kind hearted?

[@eduardpaduraru3090]

@@mrsmithers69 the knight tricked us into thinking that everything that he is doing for hallownest is from the kindness of his heart, in reality he wants to destroy and consume radiance for his selfish reasons, this allowed him to become an unstoppable force that will destroy the hollow knight universe, and the only ones to blame it's US, because we helped him achieve this great power

[@mrsmithers69]

@@eduardpaduraru3090 how do you know they consumed the radiance for evil?

[@raumarsene9910]

Seems like quite a stretch to be honest, if you look at her dialogue it seems pretty clear that she's slowly succumbing to the infection overtime

[@raumarsene9910]

@@eduardpaduraru3090 the knight in the entirety of the game is quite literally an emotionless husk; or at least outwardly is. We as the player outside of lore have next to no clue how the knight thinks nor what its true motivations even are. That's what makes its character so intresting, anyone is allowed to interpret the knight however they want. However, acting like your own version is inherently correct is just misleading. It's certainly a plausible theory but as I stated we have no clue what its motivations are so your version is only a theory/interpretation

[@lafethegreat8552]

You need to get the focus ability, but you need the crystal heart.

[@ManlyKirby]

wdym with focus?

@@ManlyKirbyI have no idea what I was trying to say

I'm tempted to start over, only to not save Zote...

just do speedrun skips and myla won't die

[@karenanthony6140]

Myla was my favourite man why did the game do this to me :(

[@jorgemigueltavares6041]

Shame that Myla doesn't say or do anything else after saving her from her fate. Would've been a nice easter egg if she showed up in Dirtmouth at the end, like Cloth. Except Zote. He's a douche.

[@andykk3745]

the ending is full of sound, the laughter, zote voice....

[@darkshadow3940]

after bitting hollow knight the game start at the bench before ending and myla is steel infected.💔 how can we see her singing again?

[@TukGhost]

How unlucky :| Maybe you defeated the Soul Master.

@@TukGhost maybe just a lie for that part.

so either you let him live OR YOU LEAVE HIM TO BE EATEN ALIVE

[@cursedsoil3335]

I personally think Cloth dying and joining her lover in the afterlife is the better ending for her as sad as it is

[@n4me485]

the elder... has the flower?... does that mean you have to?- *sigh* reloads hollowknight.

[@vasilystepin7620]

I accidentally killed myla I hade the charm where you heal and then a poof of spores spawn and damage stuff and I forgot and myla was attacking me so I healed and she died it was sad

[@TukGhost]

Nooo, so sad

[@fridge.2785]

So sadly Myla’s fate is inevitable if you wanna play legit

You r amazing!

Thanks! :)

[@dragonsfire286]

I like how you just made fun of Zote

[@saeedbaig4249]

Is it wrong that I'd rather let Zote die than let him steal my girl Bretta? 😐

[@aliciakilljoy584]

I LOVE CLOTH SO MUCH AAA

[@Irish_Enderman]

So to "save Myla" you have to do a complex (likely unintended) skip, avoiding an important key item, like your some kinda speedrunner? Something tells me that doesn't really count as saving her

[@GreatGoldenchip]

Complex?

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

@@GreatGoldenchip considering it was described as almost impossible? Yeah...

[@bharatmatakayoda]

Yes events like getting upgrades is how time progress in hollow knight Which is why cornifer won't disaper right after buying map He disappers after u got an certain upgrade or killed a boss Like u can spend every long time in crossroafs but cornifer won't disaper till you kill the boss or get vengefull spirit For myla by the time u get desolate dive she gets half infected and by the time u get crystal heart she's fully infected So by skipping these events you basically freez time for myla

[@rowansequra1629]

i decided to plat hollow knight in a new save file and the first thing i wanted to make sure i do is not save zote so i can sit on the bench in peace

Myla was my favorite character in the entire game T-T Whenever I passed by crossroads I would always visit her. On time I was super excited to see her again and I noticed she wasnt singing. huh ? weird ? I thought. I went down and she ATTACKED ME, like those infected bugs T-T. I never killed her but then I searched and it got me so sad :'(

[@mathieuguenier3658]

2:00 double kill

50hrs later. Only a small price to pay in the grand council.

Myla is the proof that speedruners can save "humanity".

To save Myla just do these... Me: Well I guess I'm killing her myself.
